Sample Complaint Reports

"CLEAR COAT ON THE RIMS ARE FADING AND STARTING TO DULL... I ONLY HAVE 10K MILES ON THE CAR AND OWNED IT FOR 3 MONTHS"
"I BOUGHT A NEW 2020 HYUNDAI VELOSTER THREE WEEKS AGO. I HAVE DRIVEN IT FIVE TIMES. ON THREE OF THOSE FIVE OCCASIONS, WHEN ACCELERATING IN FIRST GEAR FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR SCREECHED TO A HALT, AS IF THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED. IT DID NOT DO THIS EVERY TIME I STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION -..."
"WHEN ACTIVATING THE TURN SIGNAL, PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING LEFT, IT IS VERY EASY TO INADVERTENTLY TURN OFF ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS. IF TOO MUCH FORCE OR A "SLAPPING" MOTION IS USED, THE SWITCH CAN EASILY ROTATE TO OFF, WHILE DRIVING."
